1879-CC $5 AU58 NGC. The 1879-CC half eagle boasts a small
mintage of 17,281 pieces, and experts estimate a surviving
population of just 200-250 examples in all grades. The issue is
rare in AU58, and only six specimens have been certified in higher
numeric grades by NGC and PCGS combined (6/10). The present coin is
sharply struck and shows only the slightest evidence of wear. The
pleasing rose-gold surfaces are lustrous and free of serious
distractions.(Registry
